KEITH LASLEY insists Stuart McCall can keep going to the Well with his stalwarts.

The Steelmen are enduring the most frustrating run of the manager’s 22-month reign and the Dundee draw made it just one win in their last eight outings.

Lasley and his colleagues have been overachieving since McCall walked in the door and the regulars have even taken the Champions League into Lanarkshire.

The midfielder admits a fresh face or two in January would lift the old guard but is convinced the gaffer can still count on his established stars if that fails to materialise.

Lasley said: “Any squad would welcome additions. The manager would be looking to strengthen in any window but it’s difficult to get finance.

“We have a small tight squad and seem to have lost players over the years as opposed to signing them but that’s a sign we’ve been doing well and we have to blood youngsters or find players within budget.

“We’ve had a consistent run and punched above our weight for the size of our club.

“Expectations rise with players and fans and we want to keep fighting at the right end of the SPL and we can continue to do that.”
